"It is currently difficult for the consumer as well as supervisory bodies to distinguish between normal food products and those designed for specific groups. The reasons for this ambiguity could be differences in the interpretation and application of rules by Member States. That is why I voted in favour of Ms Ries’s report: we need a legislative reorganisation, with uniform laws that guarantee innovation, competitiveness of businesses and protection of information for citizens. The European Union must commit to achieving uniform treatment in the area of food so as to provide greater legal, economic and social certainty, covering not just the goods consumed and produced within the European Union but also those which are exported and imported. In this sense the regulatory provisions on gluten and lactose are of paramount importance as they are aimed at protecting an ever-growing section of the population. Figures show that food-related conditions are becoming more and more common, causing an increase in depression, stress and general poor health: let us help make these people’s complicated lives easier."@en1
